My Hero One's Justice 2

My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a great brawler. It carries on the fine work put in on the first game, wraps the more recent story beats into a playable form, and buffs the already excellent visuals up to a new Shonen shine. It’s not a great jumping on point for newcomers, at least story-wise, but it remains a fun, approachable fighter based on one of the best anime shows of recent years.

An improvement in every way to the last game, My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a wonderful title for fans of My Hero Academia. With an improved roster and enhanced gameplay, it’s time to go Plus Ultra with this fighting game at last.

As a sequel, My Hero One's Justice 2 has settled on offering more quantity instead of improving its quality. Read the full review by Twisted Voxel.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a straightforward expansion of the first game, offering new characters and stages galore. Although it relies on the same disappointing implementation of the anime’s story, the arcade mode compensates with humour. The refined arena fighting gameplay carries this one to being among the more unique anime arena fighters in recent years.  The sheer personality of each character might be enough for those vaguely interested in the My Hero Academia craze to give this one a shot.

Visually, One’s Justice 2 looks great for the most part. The models on the main menu have very little shading, which makes them look a bit eerie, but in gameplay, they look much better and are quite expressive. The destructible environments look straight out of the show, as do the comic book-esque sound effect textboxes and attack effects.

My Hero One’s Justice was a fine adaptation of My Hero Academia, even if the name was a bit confusing. Naturally, it didn’t cover all of the content featured in My Hero Academia, in part because that’s an anime that is currently still airing new episodes. Fast-forward a year and a half, and there are new episodes to cover. Bandai Namco has thus released My Hero One’s Justice 2, which promises new playable characters, and new stories to play through. But could this have been better served as an expansion to the original release? Let’s find out in our My Hero One’s Justice 2 review.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 makes surprisingly few changes to its predecessors’ style but brings nearly double the roster to its flashy fights in what remains a solid arena fighter.

Ultimately, though, what stings the most about seeing My Hero One’s Justice 2 is how much hasn’t changed since the first game. It’s still very much a reasonably well-made and pretty anime arena fighter, but it’s nothing more than that. Even the considerably messier One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows at least had the ambition to try to capture the source material’s spirit through its main single-player mode. My Hero Academia fans looking for exactly that will be satisfied, but once again it seems Bandai Namco has opted to coast rather than adopt U.A.’s “Plus Ultra” philosophy.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 is the second fighting game based on My Hero Academia, arguably one of the most popular anime in the world. As its title suggests, My Hero One’s Justice 2 is the follow-up to 2018’s equally awkwardly titled My Hero One’s Justice -- and it's every bit as bland as its predecessor.

For fans, a game based of their favourite anime or manga property would probably be one of their top most wanted things. This time, we review the game adaptation of one of these hottest properties, My Hero Academia / Boku no Hero Academia, with developers ByKings and publisher Bandai Namco, in MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE 2. The game is available for PS4, PC Steam, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch since 13 March 2020.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 feels less like a sequel and more like an obligation - and that’s when it actually works. With the first game’s roster already a bit out of date by the time it launched, there was an obvious need to expand the lineup with characters from later in the show’s run. The roster now stands at around 40 fighters featuring characters through the end of the Shie Hassaikai arc in the fourth season of the anime. If you were really concerned with having the latest heroes and villains to play with in the arena, then I suppose your prayers have been answered. For anyone else,…
